Sweet Gift


This precious book was given to me by a dear friend.

I am so excited to have it and read it.
It is full of wonderful prose.

I thought I would share:

Beauties of Nature.

For Nature with a universal voice
Unites to celebrate each new-born day;
And this from morn to eve, and eve to morn,
All beauty and all grace the earth adorn.

So we admire, adore and pass along,
Yet linger most where sweetest flower's are strewn,
And while we mingle in the busy throng
We often feel"'twere good to be alone,"
To meditate in nature's haunts apart
In silence and humility of heart.

O, how we yearn to understand still more 
The mysteries that nature hath conceal'd;
The knowledge of her science--hidden lore,
Which unto none of us has been revealed;
Nor will it be till se have proved how true
                                               Our trust has been in what we came to do.
